I don’t think this will help as most domains are parked for a long time, years even. So many of the two week auctions would just be bid on by few people because there’s not interest yet.
I think this works better for ticket companies because there’s a temporal element and more demand.
- salicideblock 6y agoIt would maybe help if the parkers would compete during these two weeks. This prices from the registrar would be higher and only domains with less speculative value would go into parking. Still makes it a sleazy activity IMO.
- floatingatoll 6y agoI’ve been watching a specific unnamed domain that’s been parked for over two decades uninterrupted, and they increase their minimum price in line with inflation over time, even though clearly no one will ever buy it (because it was temporally relevant to a small city in the 90s and has no further value remaining). It gets resold to other domain parkers now and then, which is hilarious to me since it’s so obviously worthless, but when they churn the domains to a new owner, they lose sight of that twenty-years-unsold marker. Oh well.
